So one of my goals was to pass both exams (ICND 1 and 2) and become certified by the end of May 2019:
That's not going to happen. At my current study rate I am tracking to take the first exam (ICND1) some time next month (April). That's about 2 months of study for one exam. The second exam (ICND2) is supposed to be even more difficult than the first and may require more time. So a more realistic estimate for becoming fully certified would be August 1st. Wayyy later than I initially anticipated, but looking back at my first post I did admit that May might have been over ambitious. So I've changed the date on my second goal as follows:
1. Main long term goal is to be a successful network engineer who enjoys his job.
2. Sub-goal of the one above is to become CCNA certified by August 1st and get my foot in the door somewhere.
3. Sub-goal of the one above is to study for at least a few hours every single day.
Also I should admit that I've been slacking on goal 3 lately. Need to remedy that.
